Review of Delgo (2008) by Dwight K — 26 Jun 2012
Everything from the poster to the character's title name to the stock fantasy visuals just reeks of a soulless retread. Unfortunately, the core of the film itself isn't really that different. One of the biggest box office flops in recent history, Delgo deserves praise for making such an alien and foreign environment feel so familiar and mundane.
There's a strange sense of bewilderment when you sit through the plot as there's elements that seem a bit dark for a light hearted fantasy adventure movie but it just never follows through on anything worthwhile.
From the get go you can see the character developments a mile away and a lot of these character's establishment aren't very good to begin with. The worst of which is Delgo's friend who is one of the most obnoxious sidekick characters in the history of animated movies.
Overall Delgo follows a formula to the T in hopes of creating an interesting and memorable experience when the formula has long since been run dry by Star Wars ripoffs. Funnily enough, Delgo can be a perfect example of what not to do or write in a fantasy story.
